Farewell books, bye bye pen and paper. At school you learn with the iPad and with a motto fixed in the head. "we Want to change the world, we started from the school" is the slogan that accompanies the "revolution educated" – so like to call it – of the Istituti De Amicis, a secondary school, the secular equal of Milan. A revolution their was launched about seven years ago, when in September 2010, they began shipping the first ipads to students and teachers. From 2015, Institutions De Amicis are the Apple Distinguished School, an integral part of the worldwide program in the settore education APPLE.
to understand how To exploit the potential of the instrument to the best it took at least a year. In this period, tell Tuttoscuola, "our thoughts have been aimed at understanding how an iPad would help students improve their knowledge and teachers to work more effectively".
their revolution started by three people, Giulio Massa (ceo of the Institutes, De Amicis), Stefano Massa (dean of school) and Angel Dalessandri (Science teacher, responsible for teaching innovative and Apple Distinguished Educator, Apple Education Trainer). In a time in which the school and the digital does not always manage to go hand in hand, these three people have brought forward their idea to innovation and the future. Are able to demonstrate concretely the benefits of their revolution by using the same tools that they had put in the hands of teachers and students. Once a month they gather in the presidency, the rules of the match are simple: no judgment on the opinions of others, and a theme hard, "How to change everything that we have done up to now?".
iTunes U is their window on the world. Thanks to this Institutions De Amicis able to participate in many public events, many of which have been called in to talk about their experience of innovation arrived on the benches of the school. Thousands of students have downloaded their courses.
the aim of this "revolution ” educated" Institutions De Amicis is to improve the learning of the students. their pupils are active members of the school and benefit from the advantages arising from the use of the iPad becoming, in their turn, the authors of the change. Students, in fact, is issued with an iPad managed by the MDM server that makes it possible to transfer content and information in the most efficient and economical way. the Istituti De Amicis have also adhered to the Apple School Manager from its initial stages, and this is very facilitating the management of the iPad.
the open Door to the digital-to-school, therefore, but not only. One of the projects that, in fact, is very much at the heart Institutes De Amicis is one of the Hospital School. Also there would have to get their revolution: "our school – we are told – will donate 47 iPad 2 to the project School in the Hospital, and will follow the start of the teaching activities with a cycle of training and coaching. The Istituti De Amicis, and the trainers involved, work on this project in the form of a free view of the nature of the project. The objective of the project is to help the teachers follow the children who attend the hospital for treatment long to develop courses on iPad".
